LOL I'm sure I would remember my lottery number if whatever number I had resulted in me being called in for that pre-induction physical. I don't even remember getting a number. I assume you found out from a letter sent by either a federal agency or the local draft board. I think I remember getting a letter my senior year of high school that said I had to register for the draft but I never received any communication once my draft status was 2-S, so I never had to get a friendly doctor write a letter for me that claimed I was suffering from "bone spurs." :) -- *Expand the Supreme Court!* |

The army never had a chance to "take me" when I was of draft age because like most young men of my age back then, I wasn't drafted. What was your lottery number? That's really funny. Why would I remember? Being in the military might have been an important part of your life and the lives of others here who might have been drafted, but I wasn't drafted and I didn't enlist to avoid being drafted. Therefore, there was nothing about a lottery number I would remember 50 years later. I do remember my street address where I lived for a couple of years back then, but that number was important to me for various reasons. You would certainly remember if it was high or low. Sorry, I don't. All I remember is that each time I moved when I was draft eligible, I sent a certified letter to my local draft board. Never got a response. I have a vague and probably incorrect memory that I was beyond draft age in 1970, but I don't recall when the draft actually ended. Harry remembers every school teacher's name he came in contact with, his high school's rank in the state, the people he knew at other high schools, the particulars of every person he encountered in his career as a newsboy, the grade he made on his 8th grade English test, ad nauseum. But one of the most important numbers in his life escapes him now. Um, yeah. :) LOL! That's our Harry!

There was a local kid who inlisted and served a tourthen was duly discharged. 4 months later he got a draft notice. LOL I worked with a guy who got a letter from the draft Board threatening prison if he did not report. He said he sent a picture of him with crossed bandolier like a Mexican bandit in front of his fire base sign and said “please come get me”. |

So lottery number meant nada. |
